How did this collaboration come about?

Rafael Nadal: I’ve known Tommy and his family for years. When he approached me for the collaboration, I was very excited to work with my friend and one of the world’s most renowned designers. I’m honoured to have this opportunity to collaborate with such an iconic American brand.

Tommy Hilfiger: Rafael has been a personal friend and supporter of our brand for nearly 10 years. We are excited about this exclusive partnership, which brings one of the greatest athletes of this generation into our Tommy family.

How did you come up with the idea to launch a fragrance with Rafael Nadal?

What do you like about the fragrance’s scent?

RN: It’s very fresh and masculine; the first time I smelled it, I felt like it gave me a rush of positive energy. I also appreciate its versatility for any time of day—it’s perfect to spray on in the morning, after sporting or before a black-tie dinner.
